There are a hundred ways of recogniz-
ing well bred, promising bird When
you see one with strong feathers closely
connected TO the body with the wings sub
stantial and finely pinioned to the form,
with full head from the end of the back,
with the shaft of the wing feathers almost
inflexible al the end, with deep, broad
chest and wide overlapping web which
stops the air from rushing through when
in flight, you can bet all the wealth ac-
cumulated since Adam that that bird will
carve ont q memorable record. As the
speed of the bird is dependent on his
shape, resolution and endurance, those
in charge of breeders cannot be too
particular in seeing that they are bred
short. For difficult work and long jour.
neys birds between 2 and 5I5 years
are the best Their ambition is then
at its height. Frequently few
birds will indulge in long flights
until they reach the age of syears Aftel
that time they are available only for breed
ing purposes.-New York Commercial,

The feminine mind has taken the notion

rouge their ears inside and out. As the

SURROUNDED BY AFRICAN LIONS.


An Explorer in Dangerous Predfca-
ment-A Curious Fact Noted.
In all my previous African experiences
had never known what it was to be in
real danger from the attacks of lions.
The king of beasts had hitherto exhibited
a provoking shyness and persistent dis
like TO cultivate my acquaintance-so
much so that | often used to complain
that gained nothing from my wish TO
know the lion at home and that ! might
learn more about him in Regents park
than in the savagest wilds of Africa. But
ever since the troubled night which we
spent at the Mkuynni ask no more for
leenine visits, especially in the darkness
of the small hours, and viii content my
self with an occasional journey to the
Geological gardens, where can see the
graudest of cats in safe and comfortable
cage,
Soon after we had retired TO rest on this
occasion, when the men had begun to
snore round their fires, wrapped up in
dusky white cloths like so many mum
mics, and when the leader of the caravan
was curling himself snugly between the
blankets, the most terrific roar you ever
heard startled us all into sudden wakeful-
ness. Though the lion that uttered il was
probably 40 OF SO yards distant, the sound
of his thunderous below seemed to come
from our very mist. sat up in bed and
looked uneasily around me, but nobody
complained of being eaten, SO lay down
again and even began to think this very
interesting and very African, full Of local
color and SO on But now on our right
-. ii IL 4, E H. -,
chorus of loud roaring began The night
was as vet pitchy dark, for the moon
would not rise till the early morning We
could see nothing beyond the blaze of ouT
Gordon of fires.
However, feeling that it was despicahly
tame to lie still in bed and so to sleep
while my porters shiyered with fear,
arose, took my gun and fired into the
bushes where the roaring was lOudest.
This, the men Informed me was the un-
wisest thing could do; of course killed
nothing and the noise of the flrearm in
stead of awing the lions into silence only
seemed 10 exasperate them. | certainly
never heard anything like the noise they
made. My men averTed that we were
surrounded by ten beasts suppose they
distinguished ten various roarings; GER
tainly, the next morning, when we exam
lned the precincts of our camp. the many
footprints of different sizes which were
marked in the soft vegetable soil of the
river bank indicated unQuestionably that
u whole troop of lions had been in our i'm
mediate vicinity during the night.
] noticed a curious fact connected with
the unseen approach of these beasts.
Whenever lion was nearing our camp,
and before he attested his vicinity by a
roar, we were, when we had learned to
read the warning. made aware Of the fact
by the sudden nervous twittering of the
small birds in the branches above. eli
was a tremendous diapason % fear, most
singularly impressive. On several subse
quent occasions the approach of large wild
beasts has been signitied to me in the
